BOOK REVIEW
Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant
theoretical physicists in history, wrote the
modern classic A Brief History of Time to help
nonscientists understand the questions being
asked by scientists today Where did the universe
come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come
to an end, and if so, how? Hawking attempts to
reveal these questions (and where we're looking
for answers) using a minimum of technical jargon.
Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity,
black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time,
and physicists' search for a grand unifying
theory. This is deep science these concepts are
so vast (or so tiny) as to cause vertigo while
reading, and one can't help but marvel at
Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult
subject for people not used to thinking about
things like alternate dimensions. The journey is
certainly worth taking, for, as Hawking says, the
reward of understanding the universe may be a
glimpse of "the mind of God."
